We’ll also discuss whisky and Cognac with fifth-generation Cognac maker Cyril Camus, along with the challenges of selling Scotch Whisky and Bourbon in China. Campbell Brown and Jackie Zykan join us for this week’s Whisk圜ast In-Depth with Statesman’s origin story and updates on this year’s Birthday Bourbon and the new Old Forester Distillery under construction on Louisville’s Whiskey Row. Old Forester President Campbell Brown and his team worked with director Matthew Vaughn during production, and Master Taster Jackie Zykan helped create Old Forester Statesman, which is featured in the film. It’s featured in the upcoming movie “Kingsman: The Golden Circle” with Jeff Bridges as the leader of Statesman, a secretive private espionage unit that just happens to make Bourbon in Kentucky and teams up with the London-based Kingsman to save the world. We’ve seen whisky and movie tie-ins before, but Old Forester’s new Statesman Bourbon is a bit different.
